Summary
In which Steve Harrington accidentally leaves his notebook on his desk. When he returns to retrieve it, it’s gone, and he chalks it up to someone being a dick.
When it reappears on his desk and all of his notes have been scrutinized, mocked, corrected and made… more understandable, all in bright red ink, Steve still thinks this guy is an asshole, but at least some of it is helpful.
Steve may start to carry a torch for him, but he can’t figure out who it is.
It doesn’t help that Steve starts to develop a Billy Hargrove problem different from what he’s faced all year.

Summary
Mello is demonstrably capable of killing, and has perhaps more reason to want Near dead than anyone else on the face of the earth. They were once rivals, and Near knows a fragment of that resentment lingers even now. She is also likely the only person who could successfully bring Mello to justice, so her very existence is a threat to Mello’s, in a sense. If that weren’t enough, there is the fact that Mello could make a fortune, too, were she to kill Near. There are no shortage of people who would pay a handsome sum to see L’s head on a platter.
And it would be so simple for her to do it, so easy. She’s had countless opportunities— the two of them alone, Near in all kinds of vulnerable positions, any number of potentially deadly weapons within reach— but she’s never taken one. Despite having every possible motive and every possible chance, Mello has not killed her. On more than one occasion, she’s even protected Near.
This is how she knows Mello loves her in her way, even if she has not said it aloud. Even if it isn’t enough to make her stay.
--
Mello and Near through the years, in love and in agony.

Summary
“Get out of the car,” Hopper says, finally, and Billy blows air out hard, breaking open the thin scabbing on his lip again.
He fumbles with the door, climbs out and stands there, his feet hot and sweating inside his sneakers. It’s awful, Hopper is looking at him with something like pity, enough silent sadness to infuriate him, and Billy can’t figure out how to get past this moment - and then. He doesn’t need to, because everything changes.

Summary
The small pout Near offers in response would, under normal circumstances, result in the rapid undoing of Mello’s resolve. Worse still is that Near has begun writhing in his lap; not quite grinding on him, but shifting his weight in a way that’s troublesome nonetheless. Mello huffs. Near is fully aware of what he’s doing. He knows the effect he has on Mello.
He’s teasing him.
If that’s how this is going to be, then perhaps Mello will do a little teasing of his own.

Summary
“What’s happening?” Near asks.
“I’m not sure,” Mello says. “I think we might’ve been kidnapped.”
Near makes a soft sound of disapproval. Mello bristles at this, because it sounds like Near is mad at him over their abduction, even though it’s obviously not Mello’s fault. Shutting his eyes for a moment, he reminds himself that Near is probably feeling super-scared and vulnerable, and that, considering the situation, he may not be thinking through the potential implications of the sounds he’s making. He probably didn’t mean for it to seem accusatory.
--
A dire situation tests Mello and Near’s ability to work together, bringing out the good, the bad, and the intensely sexual.
